Hello folks, I am planning a trip to the Junk Bonanza in Shakopee, MN and would love some input on where to camp while I am there. Anyone from Minnesota that can give me some tips. I am going to be driving a few days before to get there from Seattle. If there are any other places I can stay on the way that anyone knows about I would love your feedback.
I know, this is quite a trip, but it is suppose to be an amazing junk show and I met the founder/owner while I was at Farm Chicks in Spokane and she was so nice.
Anybody that wants to caravan or meet me it is in Sept. 15-17 and you can get early bird tickets on their website. Junk Bonanza

Hi Mindy, I live in Minnesota about an hour and a half from Shakopee. You might want to make a reservation early because there is a huge Renaissance festival going on every weekend in September in Shakopee. It's quite a big deal here in Minnesota. Here's some suggestions for RV parks real close by. Shakopee Valley RV Park www.shakopeerv.comTown and Country RV Park and Campground in Savage, MN www.townandcountrycampground.comFish Lake Acres Campground in Prior Lake, MN flac.bcpnet.net/FLAC.htm There are also many regional parks with camping in the area. Just go to: www.threeriversparks.orgHope this helps and maybe the wife and I might have to check out this junk sale. Sounds like fun. Joel

Mindy, I'm an hour south of Shakopee. Checked out the Junk Bonanza and I looks like a must for me. There is nothing better than Fall camping in Minnesota. I can check around for a campground for you and see if there is a possibility of reserving a few sites for VSTF members to meet up. I know I would love to camp with some other VSTF members. Joyce

Thanks everyone for your input...
This is going to be fun.
Shutzee, our little compacts could hang together. Mine is coming along. It is a 62, similar to yours. I am having her inspected tomorrow so I can get a title.
Then I am going to get the outside painting done. The inside has been pretty much completed. Just need to freshen up the birch.
Let me know where you want to camp. the one I looked at was flooded but the second one that was recommended looked pretty nice.
I am still new to all of this camping so I hope to be more experienced by Sept.
Mindy
